Genre Puzzle

Description Yiff! is a puzzle game for two players (or 1 against the computer). The two take turns placing foxes into 'rooms' on the grid. After a certain number of foxes fill a room, they change color and scatter to adjoining rooms. The object is to change all foxes to your own color. A pair of Street Fighter inspired fox-morphs battle out the combos at the bottom of the screen. Use the arrow keys to select a square, and Enter or Space to select it. Press 'w' to place a wall. You can not place a wall in non-empty squares, and you can not place a fox on a wall. The winner is the first one to have all the foxes on the board in his own colour.

This is my software. It's one of the first games I wrote for 32-bit DOS with DJGPP and Allegro. Originally, it was meant to be a loosely-inspired Chain Reaction clone (loosely because I only ever read the description of Chain Reaction, I still have never seen one of the original copies run!). And yes, with the title being a furry joke. My brother suggested the foxes at the bottom as a Puzzle Fighter homage, and that was relatively fun to do as well.

Five stars just for surviving in people's memories and for being uploaded to archive.org twice. ;)
